[00:09] does Elementary based on ubuntu 16.4 guys ? [00:10] !elementary [00:10] Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. [00:13] ty [00:23] !Gentoo [00:23] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Arch Linux, Manjaro, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [00:28] !Deepin [00:29] hmmm [00:29] so, I have a question. how come I can delete a file that I don't have any permissions on, then empty the trash, using the nautilus explorer? [00:33] lucyfx, start nautilus from terminal with sudo, or install nautilus-actions nautilus-admin to open the file with proper permission [00:34] and find out why you don't have permission... [00:38] While booting in Budgie with lowlatency kernel. I get to the login screen, try to log in, it cycles bringing be back to login. I did a dmesg in a virtual console, here's the pastebin: https://pastebin.com/0AA4gX8n [00:40] I'm using 16.04 [00:40] Also, please update the supported lowlatency kernels. [00:40] NoCode: who are you asking to update what? [00:41] NoCode: it's the nvidia driver, presumably, not the lowlatency kernel [00:41] nacc: Well, the people who are responsible for kernels in the Ubuntu repositories. [00:42] nacc: Would a reinstall of the driver work? [00:42] NoCode: what do you mean by update? the issue is with the nvidia driver that you are using [00:42] NoCode: afaict [00:42] NoCode: and, if i had to guess, has to do with the spectre / meltdown fixes [00:43] (retpoline is the in-kernel fix) [00:43] A year ago I had issues with my 16.04 install where the driver would update and it'd skew but not to do the same thing as it is doing now. So I'd reinstall the nvidia driver after a driver update and everything would be well again. [00:44] nacc: On my part, what should I do? Wait for an update for nvidia driver? [00:44] NoCode: where are you getting the nvidia driver from? [00:45] Let me look at the repo list, it could be from a PPA. I think it might be. [00:46] NoCode: PPAs are not officially supported and much more liable to break; presuambly the PPA owner needs to do a rebuild of their drivers to match the newer kernel in all releases. The official Ubuntu packages should work [00:53] nacc: Okay, I don't have any PPAs for the nvidia drivers. Usually I do... [00:56] nacc: Sorry that took a while I usually don't really cat/grep files so I had to how to "cat /etc/apt/sources.lost | grep 'nvidia' [00:56] " [00:56] s/lost/list/ [00:57] NoCode, look for it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [00:58] kostkon: it suggests that it's a directory. [00:58] NoCode, yep [00:59] Nothing about nvidia in there, no [00:59] NoCode, ok [01:01] The nvidia driver is also loaded in generic kernel. glxinfo is suggesting it is loaded. So I dunno what's going on with the other kernel. :( [01:02] I just got an thinkpad x250 trackpad to replace the crappy one on the x240. THe 3 buttons mouse buttons don't seem to be working, but the trackpad itself is. Running Ubuntu 17.10.

[02:13] Super n00b question [02:13] I am trying to update something (letsencrypt) and I use too many flavors of L00nix to remember the exact command [02:14] sudo apt-get update letsencrypt is not help me :( update would want to update everything, correct? [02:14] Maybe I should just run that... it has been a second, but then I'm worried...does that just update my package lists? [02:14] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install letsencrypt [02:15] 'update' just updates the information on what is available [02:15] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 286 not upgraded. [02:15] S1GM4, is there a newer versioj available [02:15] Unhelpful :( lol but I think this is a letsencrypt problem, really [02:15] S1GM4: it's up to date in the repository you're using, then. [02:15] you can compile it yourself, if you'd like. [02:16] It will no longer grab certificates due to a known security issue recently that was supposedly fixed in certbot, but I guess not letsencrypt? [02:16] away to another channel I go :( haha [02:16] thanks m8s [02:16] I don't think he understood you luxio [02:17] vOv [02:17] I did :D [02:18] I also knew before hand that apt-get update would likely just update the packages available and updating that particular package was depend on if newer one was issue, and likely a newer one does exist that I must compile :( [02:19] This is a rather new security issue, but not entirely, about two months old (or less) [02:19] They may have another repository where you can update from if you don't want to compile [02:21] I found a solution / workaround. Only problem is most workarounds are for certbot rather than letsencrypt, which is what I use on Ubuntu [02:22] sounds good [02:22] If anybody else ever has this issue in here with letsencrypt not grabbing a certificate because of the recent security problems, the solution is: sudo apache2ctl stop || sudo letsencrypt --authenticator standalone --installer apache -d your.domain [02:23] (and the httpd should restart) [02:23] anyone know how to shrink my screen ?

[02:33] bazhang: thanks :D [02:33] luxio, there are many to do what you are asking for, did you have a particular one in mind [02:33] nope [02:34] whatever works [02:34] ideally something similar to Greenshot, since that's what I used to use on Windows. [02:34] luxio, i'M Not clear if prtscrn has that, as it the most very basic, you might consider the many others that do [02:35] alternative.to website luxio look for that app there [02:36] is there a way to change the key that's mapped to gnome-screenshot? [02:36] also apt-cache search screenshot luxio to see what the ubuntu repos have [02:37] luxio, have you tried anything so far [02:37] yeah I found the setting in Keyboard [02:38] luxio, do you mean the key 'prtscrn' [02:39] yes [02:39] thats not a setting [02:39] it definitely is because I just changed it [02:39] luxio, and it works?

'less' will be its own program. [05:47] i'm looking for an editor that, like cat, stays in that screen. [05:48] garyserj, to edit commands?; most shells/terms already do that [05:50] garyserj, or do you mean like apple2 (sorry only example I can think of), where you could go up screen & edit a prior command on your display === chronic1 is now known as luka_33 [05:52] I haven't used apple2 [05:52] guiverc: not like cat>a.a but without replacing the entire file [05:52] not=no [05:52] So like cat >a.a but without replacing the entire file [05:53] you can append with >> [05:53] By the way, on a related note.. If you do cat>a.a and use your arrow keys, does it work or does it display ^[[A ? [05:54] guiverc: i'm not talking about appending [05:54] i'm talking about writing anywhere in the file [05:54] garyserj, try it and see. i'd expect it to vary on settings (term type etc) [05:55] i'm accessing ubuntu via ssh and it doesn't work for me but that's through ssh i'd like to know from somebody using it directly. [05:55] i would just use an editor (vim is my favorite, but use whatever suits your tastes) [05:56] guiverc: you're totally avoiding my question [05:56] i'm well aware of editors [05:56] i can't think of any reason to edit a file without editor (outside of database; then i'd use tools anyway, not want to do it at term) [05:56] you can call it an editor if you want but i'm talking about one that doesn't start a new screen [05:56] are you are of sed|awk... [05:57] yes [05:57] sorry I can't help - i don't understand how you want to use it [05:57] i'm looking for an editor like cat>a.a but that doesn't replace the entire file but that lets me write anywhere within the file. [05:57] guiverc: do you understand the question or not? [05:57] doesn't matter whether you like the idea [05:58] and i'm not saying I NEED it and can't do without it. Just that i'd like it. [06:03] Hi [06:03] About the strange file system issue I was having... [06:05] pikapika: yes? [06:05] Its a long message, please wait a little while I am typing it. [06:14] pm pika [06:15] Can anybody running ubuntu directly (not via ssh), tell me whether their arrow keys work when they do cat>a.a ? [06:16] i dont think they would garyserj [06:16] yeah, they don't they're giving some terminal codes ^[[C^[[D^[[B^[[D^[[A^[[C^[[B^[[D^[[A^[[D^C [06:17] EriC^^: and you're running that directly? [06:17] garyserj: you could use "nano" instead if you want a text editor [06:17] yes [06:17] the funny thing is that in windows using cygwin, cat>a.a the arrow keys work! [06:17] depends on the ssh client and os [06:18] madmangun: I said without SSH! [06:18] And I said Ubuntu [06:18] garyserj: no reason to take that tone [06:18] garyserj: maybe that cat is written differently? [06:18] lotuspsychje: please don't read tone into things you see online [06:18] EriC^^: perhaps, I don't know. [06:19] maybe it's a terminal thing who knows [06:19] i think that's more likely. in windows they don't really call that thing a terminal. [06:19] afaik. [06:19] https://askubuntu.com/questions/325807/arrow-keys-tab-complete-not-working [06:19] Turns out its funnier than I thought, and also not fstab, etc's fault. Remember this used to be a dual boot system? How I converted it into a pure Ubuntu is: 1) I ran gparted from a live Ubuntu. Appears the old partition was part of a logical partition set. So I cant expand it directly. 2) I deleted the Windows os and boot paritions. Old Linux was a ~ 45 gb parition with a swap of 4 gb. 3) Ctrl C Ctrl V the main Linux parition to the newly created [06:19] ~100gb space. The starting point was auto set at 1 mb, I decided not to mess with it, figuring the 1 mb was being used by the grub. Then I shutdown system. 3) Boot into normal disk Ubuntu. Since grub is untouched, this is the old Ubuntu. Type sudo grub-update or whatever that command was...I dont remember exactly. Then rebooted. GRUB menu now no longer has Windows option. Type df -h, yes Linux is mounted at 100 gb partition. Everything is fine so I [06:19] forget about it and go on with my life. Now it appears what was happening was that I was alternately or ever 3rd time or whatever booting into the wrong partition. Remember that message I said was showing up sometimes during booting. I paid more attention to it right now, and noticed it was "A start job is running for dev-disk [further text]". Put this string into google, multiple threads mostly pointing to something about two swap paritions. I find [06:20] this strange, I open up gparted and scratch head for a while. /dev/sda8 also seems like a strange number for swap, I dont think I even had swap in this installation. Suddenly a lightbulb lights in my head. I open df -h and see / is 45.5 gb. So this is my old parition...the one that has my updated current data including new theme, wallpaper, etc. Lol. Even gparted is showing the 100gb as inactive.. So the 100 gb had older data and because I was updating [06:20] fstab on each boot thinking it was an error, both fstab have /mnt/e and /mnt/f. Except of course the Linux partition itself is "wrong" lol. [06:20] O.O [06:20] please tell me that wasn't my fault? [06:21] timing? [06:21] EriC^^: do you think what madmangun linked to has anything to do with you finding that you get those terminal codes? [06:21] https://askubuntu.com/questions/325807/arrow-keys-tab-complete-not-working [06:21] was what he linked to [06:22] If that's an issue i'll tinyurl anything else geez [06:22] No dude [06:22] it is a spammer [06:22] ok [06:22] and you are simply letting a troll provoke you into talking about them [06:22] great, trolled got it [06:23] I am creating a hastebin of my question to ease reading... [06:27] garyserj: sort of those are for the shell, i'm thinking cat might be written differently in windows [06:28] https://askubuntu.com/questions/896516/arrow-keys-with-cat-read [06:28] looks like cat might not support it at least not in ubuntu [06:30] basic line editing is built into the "terminal" on windows, rather than being part of each command [06:37] https://hastebin.com/utuwoyuyaq.sql === katnip- is now known as katnip [06:38] lotuspsychje [06:38] Oh I am sorry for filling the channel with the long question. I am a bit new to these things. [06:38] Thus I now have it on paste [06:42] I see I was being accused of being troll, that is incorrect this is a legitimate question I am having. [06:44] tldr; I didnt delete the old Linux parition when I nuked Windows, grub now alternately boots into new and old partions === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [06:54] pikapika, i only see a single swap in your fdisk -l [06:55] Is a swap needed to be a separate partition? [06:55] I guess both installations were trying to use same swap thats why it was having problems? [06:56] I can delete and recreate swap. Current parition will be nuked anyways [06:56] what version of ubuntu are you using? [06:56] 16.04 lts [06:56] I see [06:56] Yes of course, I didnt create any new swap did I? I didnt. [06:56] swap on 16.04 should be separate partition by default [06:57] I know, and I didnt create new swap, so I think both installations are using the same one [06:57] ubuntu will use a linux.swap if detected (and not disabled) [06:57] The 100 gb one was created by copying this parition in the space created by deleting Windows [06:58] if you look in your /etc/fstab you'll see your filesystem table, or drives matched, most likely with an entry for swap (created on install probably) [06:58] :s/drives matches/drives mounted/ [06:58] Yup it points to the sda8 uuid [06:59] You gave me an idea [07:00] i find it hard to imagine why subsequent boots would alter which partition would boot, unless you have grub installed on a thumb-drive-key (or other) and sometimes have it installed (which has a different grub) [07:00] is your machine eufi or legacy (bios device boots mbr) [07:01] * guiverc should have said /have it install/have it inserted/ on last [07:02] I'm guessing the fact that archive.ubuntu.com not having a package for apache 2.4.25 probably means I shouldn't try and install it.. [07:03] please help, i was testing out anonym8 on my ubuntu 17.10 stoped the script and now can get normal wired or wifi working [07:03] is there a place i can view what most config files look like default on norm 17.10 install [07:03] think it has to do with dns from what i have googled [07:06] typo cant get any network wifi wired working [07:07] Erm is there anything running? Check via top/htop [07:07] Stop anything remotely networky [07:08] snickers, if it's DNS you'll be able to ping your router (ping 10.10.10.1 or whatever it is), ping your isp (ping 99.99.99.99 where its isp's address in numbers), ping 8.8.8.8 (oogle dns), but not `ping google.com` (or anything with human names) [07:09] cant ping google or any sites will try router and report back will be a while running off live usb atm going to setup two so can do this easier thank you both [07:10] (two laptop and ubuntu that doesnt work atm) [07:11] okay if its DNS; a quick fix is to add an entry to /etc/resolv.conf with `nameserver 8.8.8.8` as a line (letting it use oogle's DNS) [07:11] ps: editing that file will get overwritten by boot; its a temporary quick fix only. [07:15] luka_33, were you speaking to snickers; if so I'm sorry [07:15] I did, and the fstab in the 100 gb one also points to same uuid for swap [07:16] Also, I think I found the exact cause of the problem! [07:16] I was browing the 100gb partition that I've now temporarily mounted [07:17] From my own partition, I was reading the grub.cfg. I noticed a long uuid at the top of the file. I did blkid to check. Then it dawned on me. Both /sda1 (100gb Linux) and /sda7 (current Linux) have the same uuid! [07:18] I guess this is because of directly copying in gparted [07:18] Need help with getting a service to start after mounting a partition. My server's /home partition is encrypted using DMCrypt (cryptsetup LUKS). After reboot, I manually unlock the partition by by SSHing into the server and using the command "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 data". The moment I unlocked the partition, the /home partition is automatically mounted and I don't have to manually [07:18] mount it. I have a service (Seafile server) that is suppose to start automatically after boot, however it can't start because the .sh file of the service is in the /home partition. How do I get this service to autoatmically start once I manually unlocked the /home partition [07:18] So I think it was booting from whichever partition matching the uuid randomly encountered first? [07:19] So if I am not wrong...a temporary fix would be to, post copying this parition again to 100 gb (so as to not lose new theme, software installations, etc). I can just changed the uuid of the 50 gb partition to something else? [07:19] I am checking to see whether grub.cfg's are any different in either installation [07:20] And why should it not? [07:21] Of course the 100gb one has the older grub.cfg what with the Windows 10 menu entry and all [07:21] So of course, now I have to (I think) chroot to it and run grub-update? [07:21] guiverc is this correct? [07:22] i have no idea what two partitions having the same UUID would do; it shouldn't occur. [07:23] i would just change the UUID on one partition (the one you don't want), and I'd not use your system until that was done, ie. use a 'live' system to do it. [07:24] hi all, if i use the "update" UI i get always asked to disable secure boot. i did this some times ago, but after the disable the laptop went crazy, so i enabled it again. but now i get asked again, can i ignore updates which require secure boot disableling? [07:24] yep change one (the one you won't use), sorry was behind as out feeding birds.. [07:24] Yes, but I think I have a clear understanding of the situation now === s is now known as Guest29818 [07:25] speak chinese [07:25] I will write it out for clarity and post a paste [07:25] 卡哇伊 [07:25] 有没有人讲中文 [07:25] !cn | Guest29818 [07:25] Guest29818: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [07:25] I had black screen and compiz consuming 100% cpu, after restarting lightgdm I have following dmesg http://termbin.com/wzu7i what could be the problem? [07:26] thanks guy [07:26] pikapika, i wouldn't bother, my suggestion is to reboot into a live & change uuid of your less important partition there, you would probably be safe to do it without rebooting-into-live, but you are in a condition I don't know effects on. [07:26] yes but as mentioned, this one has the newer data so I will copy it first [07:26] with live cd [07:27] pikapika, you see in control of it; come back if you have other issues.. [07:28] you seem in control of it (sorry lotsa typos today) [07:28] Yep, now going to copy partition [07:28] Will be back reporting progress after I am done [07:30] hi im back was able to ping my router no problem but am not able to get internet access any suggestions just a heads up i have made some changes to config files myself running 17.10 [07:31] when pinging external links; were you using numbers or names (dns means names won't work, but real addresses (numbers) will) [07:32] this is what i installed https://github.com/HiroshiManRise/anonym8 [07:32] 10.1.1.1 === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [07:32] was my routers addy got a time and response [07:33] 10.1.1.1 is internal; what were you pinging external (numbers eg. 8.8.8.8 or google.com) [07:33] sorry when addresses from browser it was human readable not ip addresses in numbers [07:33] and from terminal [07:34] got to open up fullscreen just a moment need to read properly [07:35] i'd have done it from terminal, but numbers are need to confirm its DNS. (domain name service).. 8.8.8.8 is easy to remember, and oogle's dns address; if you can ping it your networking is fine (as you can reach oogle), but if pinging google.com fails then its DNS that's faulty [07:37] just pinged google dns server and i am getting good responses and no loss of packets (8.8.8.8) [07:37] which confirms that you reasoning was correct; dns isn't working (it can't convert an address to its real number) [07:38] the quick fix i mentioned is adding the line `nameserver 8.8.8.8` to /etc/resolv.conf ; which just tacks on the use of oogle's dns to whatever is used (if any) [07:38] its quick, but temporary (rebooting will overwrite, as will certain service restarts etc) [07:39] okay will try that now also to menton while im away from this screen my network manager wont connect (daemon normally goes green) for wired or wifi [07:40] how i'd fix depends on what setup you had. i'm assuming you use network manager (you just confirmed), the settings of which you should be able to alter with a icon top right on your screen [07:45] Snickers, 'network connections' in unity's menu (default ubuntu 16.04) is where i would look, looking for strange settings in IPv4/IPv6 settings (but this is guess only on what the program did) [07:46] got probs cant fix that as told cant resolve hostname [07:46] the file wont let me edit it at present cant nav up down or anythin === TabMasher is now known as OICU812 [07:48] Snickers, i'm sorry i don't follow your last; you'll need sudo to edit resolv.conf [07:49] i ran the sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf and output was 'can resolve hostname nojimon(my username) [07:50] ok. its possibly done something different to my guess. have you rebooted since ^C, or at least logged out & back in since? [07:51] then the file opened but nothing could be edited nor could i navigate the nano page (up,down,left,right) was so weird [07:51] sorry cant typo [07:52] i have numerous will do it again now never know just a sec [07:52] if you've done it once, again likely won't help - don't bother [07:52] Snickers: is the local hostname the same in both /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts? [07:52] !hostname [07:52] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [07:54] exact output was 'sudo: unable to resolve hot ojimon: Resource temporarily unavailable [07:54] am currently waiting for boot [07:55] hot=host [07:55] ojimon-nojimon(my username) [07:56] what's the hostname? [07:56] not making typo like this on termial other machine fyi this a laptop and i suck with touchpads in my way lol === s is now known as Guest10911 === OICU812 is now known as TabMasher [07:57] nojimon or noj [07:58] its just a home client single machine [07:58] nothin else to network [07:59] defaults assigned nojimon is username ubuntu 17.10 (im a noob so dont know how to answer that sorry) [07:59] still, make sure the hostname is the same in those two files [08:00] can you remind me of the two locations please [08:00] !hostname | Snickers [08:00] Snickers: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [08:03] so from terminal exact syntax is 'hostname nojimon' then try command above this last instruction? [08:04] all gud [08:05] when that is fixed sudo should work without errors [08:07] hey i just ran cat /etc/hostname output was ubuntu [08:07] does that mean my current hostname is ubuntu [08:08] try the command 'hostname' [08:12] re this suggestion (1)nameserver 8.8.8.8` to /etc/resolv.conf ) do i delete what there already (nameserver) [08:14] if dns is currently broken, you might as well [08:15] (sorry away with birds again), doesn't matter. it tries first on list; if it fails it'll try second.. i'd be tempted to `whois 99.99.99.99` or first one to see who it belongs to, your isp or modified by ..) [08:20] so in theory making that change and restarting networkManager will allow me to surf but NetworkManger Daemon still looks sick and i cant surf [08:21] Snickers: if you restart networking services it will just get overwritten again [08:21] "looks sick" [08:21] you'll get a lot better information if you give factual information rather than human descriptions of problem [08:21] the daemon turns green when i am able to connect [08:22] do you currently have any working DNS? [08:22] at all [08:22] noted [08:22] Yes [08:22] It seems to be working for now [08:22] Also [08:22] i dont know how to check please help me work that out [08:23] (i seriously doubt it but am guessing) [08:23] Need help with getting a service to start after mounting a partition. My server's /home partition is encrypted using DMCrypt (cryptsetup LUKS). After reboot, I manually unlock the partition by by SSHing into the server and using the command "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 data". The moment I unlocked the partition, the /home partition is automatically mounted and I don't have to manually [08:23] mount it. I have a service (Seafile server) that is suppose to start automatically after boot, however it can't start because the .sh file of the service is in the /home partition. How do I get this service to autoatmically start once I manually unlocked the /home partition [08:23] Snickers: you said earlier you can ping your router, is that still true ? [08:23] I noticed that grub actually had two entries, one an Ubuntu without any further information...another something like Ubuntu 16.04 on /dev/sda1 [08:23] yes i can [08:23] Snickers: ok, can you "ping 8.8.8.8" [08:23] i can also ping google dns address 8.8.88 [08:24] yes [08:24] I tried rebooting a few times before the live cd operations. Since my grub and fstab both are based on uuids either option randomly selected whichever Ubuntu it felt like [08:24] ok, so you have internet connection and your routing fine [08:24] So just to make sure, in the live cd after copying partition I changed the uuid of sda7 [08:25] if those answers i gave confirm that then yes [08:25] Snickers: what do you get if you do "nmcli dev show | grep DNS" in a terminal [08:28] two address's one for ipv4 one for ipv6 do you want them verbatim in pm [08:28] is it just two lines ? [08:28] yes [08:28] just paste them in the channel please [08:29] just the addresses or the whole line [08:29] just the addresses [08:30] 10.1.1.1 fe80::e2b9: [08:30] hang on [08:30] that will do [08:30] so is your route 10.1.1.1 ? [08:31] fe80:e2b9:e5fffeb3:ea44 [08:31] yeah [08:31] Snickers: so if you do, nslookup www.google.com do you get a response [08:32] connection timed out [08:32] no [08:32] no servers could be reached [08:32] ok, do "nslookup" (on it's own) then "server 10.1.1.1" then "www.google.com" [08:33] do you get a response then or still timed out [08:33] no response [08:33] ok, so now do "nslookup" (on its own) then "server 8.8.8.8", then "www.google.com" [08:33] does that work [08:35] hi all.who can i talk to regarding a bug that is: log files growing very fast [08:36] obonto: is it a bug or a problem you have [08:36] someone says its a bug. [08:36] what is "your" problem [08:37] log file is eating up my HDD [08:37] what log file [08:38] Hay Hi who's there [08:38] computer/var/log [08:38] obonto: that's a directory [08:38]
